Ghiffa Condo Rental Photos and Description

Private beach, large sun-bathing lawn with barbecue area, garage

The 'Yachting Residence' is located directly on the sun-drenched lake-front of Lago Maggiore. This residence is unique, because of its direct access to the lake and its exceptional architecture. The town of Ghiffa can easily be reached along the lake-side promenade. The building has been completely renovated and authentically extended. During the careful restoration of the heritageprotected building, the original structure of the old facades was retained. The result: a stylish house with every modern convenience, but still exuding its original charm. This is an ideal holiday residence, not only for water-sports enthusiasts. The unusually high ceilings in parts of the residence, in combination with arched windows and loggias which face the lake, lend these appartments their own particular character and charm. The outdoor area is also unique: the residence has a 250 m long garden, which is used as a private beach and a large sun-bathing lawn with barbecue area. In the evening, the entire complex is beautifully illuminated. A washingmachine and clothes-dryer are available. Coins needed for the use of these machines may be obtained from the concierge. Every appartment has SAT-TV and a parking space in the garage. The floors are of Carrara marble or white tiles.

Ghiffa: (near Verbana: 18,000 inhabitants) is located at the foot of Monte Cargiago and boasts many wonderful villas and an opulent vegetation. In 1987 the nature park Santissima Trinitá (approx. 200 hectares) was opened. 5 golf courses are within a 15-20 minute drive. There is a network of wonderful walking and hiking trails throughout the area, which also provides a rich variety of cultural, recreational and sporting amenities, guaranteeing ample entertainment and activities for all. The well-known towns of Intra and Pallanza are in the direct vicinity. Intra is famous for its market and beautiful historic town-centre. Incidentally, you can take the ferry from Intra to Laveno which is on the opposite side of the lake. Pallanza has Roman origins and a wonderful lake-side promenade, with inviting restaurants, cafés and shops. Here you can also visit the Botanical Garden (20 hectares) at the Villa Taranto, with over 20,000 rare species of flora from every corner of the earth. From Ghiffa, you can also take the ferry to the various surrounding places of interest, e.g. Ascona, Locarno, Stresa, the Borromeo slands and Lake Orta which are all only about 30 minutes away.
